DEAR EDITORS,
I would like to suggest that the Coop consider instituting a system where all members are randomly assigned two two-hour time periods for shopping each month for the duration of the current health crisis. This could solve the problem of people waiting in line for hours as the Coop does its best to keep people […]

MoreSUGGESTION OF CHANGES FOR THE AGING POPULATION

MoreCold Noodles with Peanut Sauce
By Judy Antell

MoreHELPING OUT HIGH-RISK COOP MEMBERS
DEAR MEMBERS, I was wondering if there’s anything healthy and low-risk Coop members can do to help our fellow Coop members considered high-risk who cannot enter public spaces to limit germ exposure.
